Trump suggests new stimulus package will include 'very generous' checks for most Americans

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Donald Trump has committed to supporting a “very generous” coronavirus relief package in a new interview, while appearing to suggest the forthcoming legislation will include another check to be sent to the majority of Americans.

Asked whether the reported Republican-led Senate bill will direct payments, similar to the $1,200 checks included in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act, the president said: “Yeah, we are.”

He was then pressed for more details by Scripps’ Washington correspondent, Joe St George, who asked: “When? When are you going to get it?”

Mr Trump responded: “We had this going better than anybody’s ever seen before. We had the best job numbers, the best economics, the best economy we’ve ever had, and then we had the virus come in from China. Now we’re rebuilding it again. We will be doing another stimulus package. It’ll be very good, it’ll be very generous.”

1. No way. He couldn't even get the original checks to everyone in less than five months

But I’ll take it. And vote for Joe.

27. They can send debit cards way way faster

The checks took a long time because they have buildings and machines which can only mail about a million checks per day. To mail more would require new buildings and new machines. But late in the process they were able to send out debit cards. I think they could send way more of those every day. And many people, me included, gave the IRS our bank numbers. I never have a refund so they never knew my bank info but now they know it. So I think it could be faster this time.

2. My wife and I never got the first one.

I call bullshit

[marybourg]

13. Me neither, but read that another batch will

go out in July and August.

[SammyWinstonJack]

14. My son never got one either. Filed his taxes early.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

24. Same! nt

[soothsayer]

3. Generous for his friends probably

For the crumbs he may dole out, I’ll take the bribe, but it won’t sway me

[Pantagruel]

4. The GOP way is to

convince the electorate that all will be getting tax cuts or other forms of largesse and then when actually applied it miraculously falls almost in toto to the richest Americans.
The "trickle down" scam lives on.
Deficits are only a concern when Dems are in power.

5. He'll probably send it out in September and October

So its fresh in people’s minds as they vote. Bolton said everything he does from day 1 is to get re-elected. It’s all political. Saw Bolton on the view today, the women really went after him for not testifying and doing book deal instead.

[Wellstone ruled]

19. You nailed it,

October surprise. As well as a cancellation of all Federal Business Taxes.

[lame54]

6. His buy the vote program

[TreasonousBastard]

7. I think he's full of shit, trolling for votes amongst the bottomfish. I wouldn't mind...

getting another one, but I might mind what I'll eventually have to pay for it.

[Brother Buzz]

8. Trying to buy his reelection with OUR money

Just saying.

[Polly Hennessey]

9. Campaign rhetoric.

He is desperate. He is now making promises he can’t keep. Like the nutcase in Arizona, Ms. McSally.

[bdamomma]

10. another fucking lie

[dalton99a]

11. $1,000 for you and $10 billion for him

[SammyWinstonJack]

17. Right? tRump has his eyes on that 14b for testing. Looking at how he can funnel that

into his pockets. No testing for us, all those funds for him and his swamp dwelling buds.

[Wounded Bear]

12. Go ahead, send me a check. I'll still vote for Biden...

[BannonsLiver]

20. Me too

As will most people. But it only took a whisper from Dump to spark the defeatists in the thread into overdrive. Some here scare very easily.

[marlakay]

28. Me too but as I said to my husband

I feel a bit guilty getting money when we are ok with our pension, they should give more to out of work people and essential workers.

[Newest Reality]

15. Words and actions...

The actions Predator Grump takes are generally destructive to a wide range of things which I won't list here, but they should be obvious.

One thing is clear, his words are often empty. They grab at the moment, get attention and manipulate the media and minds.

SHUT UP, Predator Grump! STFU. Do what you are going to do and then talk about it you confidence man mobster dictator traitor. We have no more capacity for empty, self-centered rhetoric. People are really tired of the BIG MOUTH!

What's that old saying? Oh, put up or SHUT UP.

[0rganism]

16. c'mon Trump you can do better than "very": try "the most generous checks anyone has ever seen"

and as we all know by now, your generosity is matched only by your humility

[jmg257]

18. Lets hope he remembers all of us they forgot about last time.

I could use the money.

[Initech]

21. I mean it's one rent, what could it cost? $10?

[ScratchCat]

22. The weird thing here is

My Republican friends.... all they say is, "we can't afford this!" ... all the time forgetting that it is Donald Trump who is proposing more payments to buy votes. I guess "socialism" is bad, until Trump needs it to get re-elected, and then they just pretend their guy isn't the one who needs "socialism" to win.

Funny stuff.

23. An episode of the Drew Carey Show

Mrs. Lauder, the owner of the department store where everyone worked, approached Mimi about a task. Mrs. Lauder had heard that Mimi's relative was a trucker and would pay him $641 to transport the store Christmas tree. Mimi said sure, but why such a specific figure? Mrs. Lauder replied, "We did a study, and found that that's what you people consider a lot of money." Mimi thought about it for a second, shrugged, and went off to call her relative.

That was many years ago. I wonder what Trump considers "very generous"? I guess we'll see.

25. Throwing the dogs a bone.....

and expecting the dogs to sit pretty and wag their tails for him.

His administration is not rebuilding anything. They continue to dismantle the federal government along with the American dream and hand it all to the plutocrats.


KY......

[IcyPeas]

26. still waiting to hear where that $511 billion went....
